Last week I talked about my obsessive search for the perfect wall map for our home, but nothing triggered my shopping OCD quite like searching for the perfect (and affordable) starburst mirror.
I knew I wanted to use a starburst mirror (sunburst mirror? WHICH ONE IS IT I DON’T KNOW) in our new living room. We have a weird horizontal window above the sofa and I wanted to anchor it with two big pieces. I love that sunburst/starburst mirrors have a retro vibe, and so I set off to find two of them to go on either side of the window. Except . . . woah. Those suckers are EXPENSIVE. Vintage mirrors are ridiculously pricey but the newer models aren’t cheap either. Especially when you want a big one. Even more so when you need two of them. Here are the more affordable ones I could find:
Most of the mirrors in the style I wanted were upwards of $300. It was getting to the point where I felt like I had seen it all and was ready to just throw down some serious cash, but luckily a friend of mine found exactly what I was looking for at Home Depot for only $35. Who knew?
So there you have it . . . an affordable retro starburst mirror for just $35, at Home Depot of all places!
